hi
There are some old forecasts between new ones.
It be nice to have the date&time of the forcast run.
See example -
@ivo Nevermind - i just saw an option about "Forecasted weather".
-
The temperature color contrasts need to be more extreme in order to be useful. You can not see any temp changes as you look across large areas of terrain. Keep up the great work.
Capt. Mike -
Wave height colors are not correlated anywhere on the page. Bottom of page contains no information pertaining to wave heights.
Excellent, Capt. Mike -
@sonicpops Cancel post, my mistake, I see now how it works.

@ivo I'm new to this app, and very impressed. Can you implement a graph showing wind speed and direction with altitude? This would be great benefit to all forms of free flight and probably general aviation too. Sorry if this has already been requested.
-
@Susan-Wingate Well this is BUG I am trying to find 14 days
-
@Susan-Wingate Susan where are you located. Whats your home timezone?
-
Very good. One initial thought is when you click for a detailed forecast you no longer get the Lat & Long of the position marker. Would be useful to have it back.
-
The sea surface temperature indice is wrong, hahahaha...
Thank you for noticing.

Like the new version so far. Not so much a problem of version, probably more a met modelling problem in our NZ and Pacific area but as both a pilot and sailor I find the sea forecasts underdo the wind speed by at least 5 kts in general and quite often 10kts. I've just learned to always add at least 5 at sea. E.g today wind forecast for now is 16kts approx both models. Actual wind is 26kt.

Have opened it twice now and am not getting any animated data.
-
Good work! Did some testing and:
Seems the overlay colour legend does not get updated once the colour scheme is saved or tested. It does update if clicked on and the unit changes. Besides, on bft setting there are double legend entries and I think the old colour scheme was better. -
@greyeagle Thx for input
-
Another thing:
I think when clicking on a search result, the application used to zoom in to the location some so it would be in good view. Either this is a setting or it does not work in the new version. I think this is what people are used to from the major map applications however. -
Very nice. Could you add:
(a) =/0 keyboard input for zoom in/out
(b) QPF overlay - very useful for planning skiing and sailing when Western US is subject to "atmospheric rivers" from Hawaii
(c) Maybe hi-res (4k) GFS when zoomed in, or is that too much data? -
@fogmachine There is no 4k GFS data. What is is QPF?
-
@ivo my bad - confused w/ satellite imagery; meant the GFS 0.25 degree model.
QPF is Quantitative Precipitation Forecasts like what we get from http://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/qpf2.shtml - but since you already have rain/snow add an overlay of the PWAT field from the "entire atmosphere (considered as a single layer)" layer to give a good idea where/how much moisture is and what could happen if the model is off by a few degrees.

Hi,
I use it on my tablet. And it works great! Much faster indeed. And i can learn more about the weather, because of the good presentation
Maybe you can later include air pollution data.
For example a long arrow which shows where the air originates and a color to indicate the pollution addition. For the last day or two. Of course you need to know the position of the viewer.Here they are building an open source data platform for air pollution
